What’s it all about? The Roach Challenge is a test of endurance, and it gets more complicated the further along you go.

They found that cannabis which has been kept in a bright room with room temperatures saw a 13% reduction in THC content while cannabis kept in a dark room with room temperatures dropped 11% in THC after 100 days.

Inflammation: When the body senses an infection, inflammation occurs as a way to treat it. Many studies have validated CBD’s prowess in addressing immune system-related conditions including autoimmune disorders. This is why CBD is hailed as one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory compounds out there – without any of the harmful side effects that come with taking pharmaceutical drugs.

Even though you’ll run into fewer people who oppose cannabis, there are still many who are not in favor of legalization or consumption at all. These are generally purists who believe that “people shouldn’t take drugs”. This all the while they sip on coffee or eat some chocolate.
